a new source, after commencement of the discharge to the POTW, shall
submit to the Borough during the months of June and December, unless
required more frequently in the pretreatment standards or by the Borough,
a report indicating the nature and concentration of pollutants in
the effluent which are limited by such pretreatment standards. In
addition, this report shall include a record of all daily flow which,
during the reporting period, exceeded the average daily flow allowed
in the permit. At the discretion of the Borough and in consideration
of such factors as local high or low flow rates, holidays, budget
cycles, etc., the Borough may agree to alter the months during which
the above reports are to be submitted.
C.
The Borough may impose mass limitations on significant users which are using dilution to meet applicable pretreatment standards or requirements or in other cases where the imposition of mass limitations are appropriate. In such cases, the report required by Subsection 1 of this section shall indicate the mass of pollutants regulated by pretreatment standards in the effluent of the significant user. These reports shall contain the results of sampling and analysis of the discharge, including the flow and the nature and concentration or production and mass, where requested by the Borough, of pollutants contained therein which are limited by the applicable pretreatment standards. The frequency of monitoring shall be prescribed in the applicable pretreatment standard. The frequency of monitoring shall be prescribed in the applicable pretreatment standard. All analysis shall be performed in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator pursuant to Section 304(g) of the Act, and contained in 40 CFR Part 136 and amendments thereto, or with any other test procedures approved by the Administrator. Sampling shall be performed in accordance with the techniques approved by the Administrator.
10.
Monitoring Facilities. The Borough shall inspect the facilities of
any user to ascertain whether the purpose of this Part is being met
and all requirements are being complied with. Persons or occupants
of premises where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow
the Borough, through its representative(s), ready access during all
working hours to all parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection,
sampling, records examination and copying, or in the performance of
any of his duties. The Borough, the DER, and the EPA shall have the
right to set up on a user's or significant user's property such devices
as are necessary to conduct sampling inspection, compliance monitoring,
and/or metering operations. Where a user or significant user has security
measures in force which require proper identification and clearance
before entry into his premises, the user or significant user shall
make necessary arrangements with their security guards so that upon
presentation of suitable identification, personnel from the Borough,
the DER, and the EPA will be permitted to enter without delay, for
the purposes of performing their specific responsibilities.
11.
Pretreatment.
A.
Users and significant users shall provide necessary wastewater treatment
as required to comply with this Part and shall achieve compliance
with all Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards within the time
limitations as specified by the federal pretreatment regulations.
Any equipment or facilities required to the Borough shall be provided,
operated, and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans showing
the pretreatment facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted
to the Borough before construction of the facility. The review of
such plans and operating procedures will in no way relieve a user
from the responsibility of modifying his facility as necessary to
produce an effluent acceptable to the Borough under the provisions
of this Part. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities
or method of operation shall be reported to and be accepted by the
Borough prior to the user's or significant user's initiation of the
changes.
B.
Annually the Borough shall publish in a newspaper of general circulation
a list of the users and significant users who failed to comply with
pretreatment requirements or standards at least once during the previous
12 months. The notification also shall summarize any enforcement actions
taken by the Borough against these users and significant users during
the same 12 months. See: 40 CFR 403.8(2) (VII).
12.
Information and data on a user or significant user obtained from
reports, questionnaires, permit applications, permits and monitoring
programs, and from inspections shall be available to the public or
other governmental agencies without restriction unless the user or
significant user specifically requests and is able to demonstrate
to the satisfaction of the Borough that the release of such information,
processes, or methods of production [are] entitled to protection as
trade secrets of the user or significant user. When requested by the
person furnishing a report, those portions of a report which might
disclose trade secrets or secret processes shall not be made available
for inspection by the public but shall be made available, upon written
request, to governmental agencies for uses related to this Part, the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, state
disposal permit, and/or the pretreatment programs provided. Any such
portions of a report shall also be available for use by the state
or any state agency in judicial review or enforcement proceedings
involving the person furnishing the report. Wastewater constituents
and characteristics will not be recognized as confidential information.

alignment, materials or construction of a building sewer, and the
methods to be used in excavating, placing of the pipe, joint testing,
and backfilling the trench shall all conform to the requirements of
the Building and Plumbing Code or other applicable rules and regulations
of the Borough.
3.
Downspouts Not To Be Connected.
A.
No person shall make connection of sump pumps, roof downspouts, foundation
drains, areaway drains, or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater
to a building sewer or building drain which in turn is connected directly
or indirectly to the POTW unless such connection is approved in writing
by the Superintendent for purposes of disposal of polluted surface
drainage.
B.
The connection of a building sewer into the POTW shall conform to
the requirements of the Building and Plumbing Code or other applicable
rules and regulations set forth in appropriate specifications of the
ASTM and the WPCF Manual of Practice No. 9. All such connections shall

Streets, sidewalks, parkways, and other public property disturbed in the course of work shall be restored in compliance with Chapter 21, Streets, of the Borough of Stroudsburg Code of Ordinances.
B.
No excavation, construction, or connection work shall be commenced
within a Borough right-of-way until the owner, or his agents and/or
independent contractor, shall have first filed a bond in an amount
as determined by the Borough, agreeing to indemnify and save harmless
the Borough against any and all loss, damages, costs, and expenses
which the Borough may thereafter suffer, incur, be put to or pay by
reason of the failure to complete properly any of the aforesaid excavation,
construction, or connection work. The term "owner" as used herein,
shall be deemed to include the owner or owners in fee simple, lessees

[Ord. 683, 11/8/1989,
§ 3; as amended by Ord.
No. 1124, 3/1/2022]
1.
The connection fee (and customer facilities fee, inclusive), as allowed
per Act 57 of 2003 (amending Act 203 of 1990), shall be the cost of
the Borough furnishing and/or installing the saddle tap and/or wye
connection on the sewer main, once excavated and exposed by the customer's
plumbing contractor. The applicant/customer shall be responsible to
provide for the services of a qualified contractor to furnish and
install the sewer lateral/service line from the tap on the sewer main
to the building structure on the property, including all pipe, fittings,
cleanouts, labor, excavation, excavation support, traffic control,
backfilling, compaction, restoration, testing, and all other costs
to complete the connection of the property to the sanitary sewer system
in accordance with Borough standards.
2.
Upon application for a building permit, a connection fee shall be
paid to the Borough, as provided in this chapter, for each new service
requiring a connection to the Borough's sanitary sewer collection
system. The cost of the applicable connection fee must be paid in
full prior to the Borough allowing the use of the new connection for
sewer service.
3.
The minimum connection fee that the Borough shall charge the applicant
is $1,000 per four-inch or six-inch lateral connection to the sanitary
sewer system. The connection fee for larger than six-inch laterals
shall be adjusted accordingly based upon the increased cost of labor
and materials. The Borough may charge the applicant for the actual
cost of installation of the saddle tap and/or wye connection incurred
by the Borough, in terms of labor and material, if such actual costs
exceed the minimum connection fee. Sewer service shall not be activated
to the property until the applicable fees are paid in full.
4.
Other charges related to sewer connections. Borough Council or other
authorized Borough officials may assess charges against an applicant
for special services rendered in regards to making connection, or
repairing or replacing a connection, to the Borough sewer system,
or for damages to Borough-owned equipment or facilities or for any
other unlawful activity, and such charges must be paid by said applicant.
Such costs, including professional fees, shall not exceed actual costs
plus a 10% administrative fee. Upon failure of the applicant to pay
such charges within a reasonable time after presentation of same,
sewer service may be refused or turned off, as well as the claim may
be collected in such manner as other municipal claims are now by law
collected.
[Ord. 683, 11/8/1989,
§ 3; as amended by Ord. 708, 8/14/1991, § 1; and by Ord. No. 1124, 3/1/2022]
1.
For purposes of this section, an equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) shall
be defined as sewer usage equal to 80,000 gallons per year or approximately
219 gallons per day, as measured by the point-of-use water service
meter or by an engineer's calculation, where required. The EDU
is based on the design sewer capacity for a residential dwelling unit
connected to the Borough sewer system, calculated at 90 gallons per
capita per day times 2.43, the average number of persons per household
in Stroudsburg Borough according to the U.S. Census population projections
for 2015 through 2019. This EDU figure is established under the provisions
of PA Act 57 of 2003 (which amended PA Act 203 of 1990). The number
of EDUs is used to determine the following costs:
A.
Tapping fees for new customers.
B.
Reassessed tapping fees for existing customers which:
(1)
Install additions to existing facilities;
(2)
Expand existing facilities;
(3)
Expand operations;
(4)
Increase sewer usage, based upon water meter readings, for any
reason other than an unidentified loss of water which is remediated
within three months of determination of where the loss is occurring.
Additional tapping fees for increased sewer usage shall be calculated
and assessed annually in the event the customer's sewer usage,
as based upon water meter readings, increases more than 10% over the
previous 12 months' sewer usage, as calculated in or about January
of each year.
2.
The sewer tapping fee is composed of the following four components
as calculated in the latest Sewer Tapping and Connection Fee Study
authorized by the Borough:
A.
Capacity component = $795 per EDU.
B.
Collection component = $2,378 per EDU.
C.
Special purpose component for customers served by the Kautz St. Pump
Station: $252 per EDU.
D.
Reimbursement part: $0 per EDU.
The total sewer tapping fee for those customers in the special
purpose service area served by the Kautz St. Pump Station shall be
$3,425 per EDU.
The total sewer tapping fee for all other customers shall be
$3,173 per EDU.
3.
The sewer tapping fee may be revised from time to time based on new
engineering calculations and approved by ordinance.
4.
No less than the tapping fee as stated in this section is due and payable upon issuance of a building permit (unless other time frame for payment is established under the conditions of a developer's agreement). No connection to the sewer system shall be allowed until the tapping fees are paid in full, pursuant to Chapter 18.
5.
In no case shall any dwelling unit or nonresidential use on a property
be assessed less than one EDU for the tapping fee for sewer service.
If it is determined by the Borough that the more than one EDU would
apply to a particular use (nonresidential users, mixed use users or
multiresidential dwellings) requesting connection to the system, the
applicant shall submit an application, and in the application, shall
submit historical data and engineering calculations to support the
estimated sewer use projections for the premises. The data and calculations
shall be reviewed by the Borough and/or Borough Engineer using engineering
standards and procedures. All determinations of the Borough shall
be final. Within one year following the date of connection, the Borough
shall make an analysis of actual quarterly sewer usage, and the Borough
shall thereafter adjust the EDU assignment and associated tapping
fees previously collected either upward or downward based on the quarterly
usage. The onus is on the applicant to definitively demonstrate that
actual use after one year is less than projected in order to qualify
for a reduction in EDUs and associated tapping fees.
6.
In those cases where an owner of a property is demolishing existing
structures due to fire or redevelopment of that property, the owner
shall be given credits equal to the existing EDUs previously purchased
for and/or allocated to the premises or, if EDUs were not previously
purchased and/or allocated, based on sewer usage as otherwise established
by the Borough, provided a new connection for sewer and water service
is reestablished and put into service within five years of the initial
termination of service date, and provided all standby fees and other
fees are paid in full up through the date of reestablishment of service.
This condition may be modified and the time frame for reestablishment
of service extended by motion of Borough Council at a public meeting.
If the reconstruction or redevelopment of the property results in
a use exceeding the prior tapping fee (EDU) usage then the applicant/property
owner shall pay the difference in tapping fee (EDU) charges. In those
cases where a change in use, addition or expansion of use results
in additional tapping fee (EDU) usage, additional charges shall be
based upon the additional usage (EDUs) and assessed to the property
owner. In no case shall credits be given for any excess EDUs which
may result due to the reconstruction or redevelopment of a site and
in no case shall EDUs be transferable from the original property to
another property. Any additional fees shall be charged in full per
the provisions of this chapter.
7.
Once EDUs are established and documented by the Borough (whether
or not tapping fees have been paid), these EDUs shall serve as the
basis of allocated capacity on a premises, regardless of annual fluctuations
not representing an increase (or decrease) of more than 10% in flow.
8.
A premises may be considered to be in vacancy status by the Borough
if the premises experiences a reduction in usage of more than 25%
less than the allocated capacity to the premises over a period of
more than five years. The owner of a premises in vacancy shall forfeit
all EDUs ascribed to the premises, or a portion thereof, as determined
by the Borough.
9.
A change of use on a premises shall require a recalculation of EDUs,
and if determined by the Borough, may result in a reduction in EDUs,
and reserved capacity, allocated to the premises. Any previously paid
tapping fees shall not be refunded in the case of a reduction of EDUs
due to a change of use on a premises.
[Ord. 683, 11/8/1989,
§ 3]
If at the time of recommendation of the Borough's consulting
sewer engineer and a determination by Borough Council that the POTW
collection and conveyance system must be enlarged or enhanced to accommodate
any building or development plan, the applicant shall bear the cost
of enlarging or enhancing the collection and conveyance system.
